What film am I thinking of?

24 replies

NoMoreXmasTree · 31/12/2023 17:39

I have an image of a scene in a film and I'm really stuck as to which film it could be from. In my mind it is a heist / crime / drama type film and this scene is at the end of the film and it takes place in a bar. I think it's like a beach bar or maybe a bar in a hot place. Two men (possibly Jude Law / Matt Damon or similar) are singing a duet of Beyond The Sea.

That's all I have. I've googled which films have Beyond the Sea in it but can't find anything. Can anyone here help me please?

Talented Mr Ripley?

No, not that. That's when they sing Tu Vuo Fà L'Americano isn't it. Great scene from a stunning film. But the one I have in mind is a far more colourful bar. It's daylight, the bar is long and it feels like it's a hot sunny day.

I feel like it's at the end of the the film too.

Hmmm - very similar vibe. I remember redder tones. I don't think I've seen (or even heard of before tonight) a Life Less Ordinary. Is it any good?

It's of its time, similar vibes to Dogma

The French version (La Mer) is sung in the concluding scene of "Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy" (the film version with Gary Oldman). Great movie but I suspect not the one you're thinking of?

Hmm it's none of these. I seem to remember loving it and my DH hating it. I've looked at all the links I can find an nothing seems to match.

Goodfellas?

Although not those actors.

Æthelfled · 31/12/2023 18:37

Sleepers?

Æthelfled · 31/12/2023 18:38

Untouchables is another that may fit the bill

What about Repo Men? Definitely an action movie, the last scene is Jude Law and Forest Whitaker sitting on a tropical beach being handed drinks from an unseen bar. They're not duetting though, but the song 'Dream a Little Dream for Me' is being sung in the background.

OK this has potential. I don't actually think it's the one but thanks for the Jude Law & Forest Whitaker gorgeousness. That's New Year's Day sorted!

Maybe I have the wrong song but it's a film with an anachronistically (to the theme of the film) cheerful song in the scene like the closing scene of Shallow Grave.

If you're going to be watching it and haven't seen it before I won't give any spoilers - but "anachronistically" could definitely apply.

Enjoy the film!Grin

I thought of a life less ordinary too. It’s definitely worth a watch even if it’s not the right film. Is there a bourne film where Matt Damon ends up on a beach with someone who has a beach bar and jet ski hire type place?

@Hobbes8 Well that would match with DH hating it. He hates all Bourne films.

If it's Jude law then it may be Love Honour and Obey

Hoglet70 · 31/12/2023 22:11

Oops sorry, I just saw the Beyond the Sea bit so not that but it's a good film and worth a watch!

Hobbes8 · 31/12/2023 22:13

This is the bourne film I was thinking of but I don’t think it fits (unless you’re mixing up beyond the sea with Moby):

Sleepers?

No. Never seen that but, wow what an all star cast! Another one on the list.

Also how did you do that cool AE thing with your username?
